Mugglican Stand Off - Two teams of geocachers arrive at a cache site from different directions at the same time. They both start to pretend that they have no interest in being there in the hope that the other people will go away. Can last hours. An especially fun show for a third party who is aware of the big picture.<p>

Decoy Caching - Method of fnding a cache in a heavily populated area. Instead of suspiciously and obviously sneaking around, a large cache bag of goodies is taken to the cache site and unloaded onto the floor. A very open act of looking for something lost within the things on the floor, cleverly disguises the cache hunt.<p>

Cachemobile - Vehicles used to transport geocachers to cache sites. Holds great status in geocaching circles.<p>

Cachemobile Envy - The knowledge that your Cachemobile is not as good as at least one other Geocachers. Sure, you can get that abseil cache without getting out of the car but it's still not watertight to 50m like the "___"ers. Reference Point - any of the 50 or so threads dedicated to this topic.<p>

Cachemobile Satisfaction - The knowledge that your Cachemobile is better than Rabbitto's Magna.<p>

Gigametre - The distance Maccamob need to travel to get to the only 10 caches in Australia that they haven't yet found.<p>

The Unworthy - Anyone not the Maccamob (who even with the knowledge of the Gigametre factor, still managed to clock over 100 finds during October.<p>

That makes me very Unworthy. I just can't keep up with such great competition.

Toyed Up: Having all of the necessary equipment packed and ready to go. Toys such as Laptop, GPSr, PDA, Camera, etc.
Usage: Are we all Toyed Up? Cool, let's go.

The Merry Go Round: Continually walking around a cache location, following the path, getting no closer than 200 meters to the cache and realising you are back where you started.

Love it. Wish I was retired and could spend that time hitting every cache in the country :-) And having met them, good luck to them.

Oh well, another 20 years I will be doing it. As long as I win Lotto first to pay for it!!!

Dreams live, will keep hitting them when I travel and one day might get 500.

Geodumped - When embi thinks your "fabulous brain-bending multi-cache adventure" is better than the offending cache and archives it for you :)

Cito Reboot: When your so one track minded you can't see the cache for looking. You then quit, do a bit of cito then find the cache straight off were you thought you looked before.

Don't forget about the GeoInjury: Generally consisting of a sprained ankle from falling in a hole whilst walking and trying to read the GPS at the same time.

GeoCringe - the inescapable feeling you get when you suddenly realise you are a grown male that has been skulking around the same bush for 20 minutes in a park with a playground*.
<p>
*Can also be experienced in other areas, but is generally stronger in a park environment.

Vertical Deception - when you jump out of the car to walk 100m to GZ, then realise there is a mountain 2km high to climb.
